B.

No provision in this Section shall be construed as infringing upon or limiting in any manner the right of political subdivisions to levy and collect in conformity with this Section any use tax heretofore or hereafter authorized.

C. (1) No taxing authority shall levy or collect any use tax on the storage of property which has been documented for use outside the taxing jurisdiction of the taxing authority although the property may be stored within its taxing jurisdiction if the owners of such property which is to be stored for exclusive use outside the taxing jurisdiction have acquired a tax exemption certificate from the taxing authority's collector.

(2) When a vendor is presented with a copy of a tax exemption certification from a vendee, the vendor shall be relieved from liability for the collection of use tax on such property.
